About Harmanie:

 

Harmanie Rose is a disabled dance artist living and working on the unceded territory of the Musqueam, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, also known as Vancouver, BC. She began her dance journey in 2006 on the Treaty 6 territory known as Edmonton, AB. She co-founded iDance Edmonton in 2008 (now known as CRIPSiE) before relocating to BC. Since 2014, Harmanie has worked as a performer, choreographer, and facilitator for the award-winning All Bodies Dance Project and as a facilitator for Ready Dance: an All Bodies Youth Project. 

Harmanie has had the pleasure of studying with dance companies such as Axis Dance (US), Candoco Dance Company (UK), Amici Dance Theatre (UK), MoMo Mixed Ability Dance Theatre (AB, CAN), and DanceAbility International (USA). She has created three outdoor, site-specific pieces, and one site-specific dance short film for Vines Art Festival as well as performed in Dance in Vancouver( DiV), and Dancing on the Edge (DOTE). Watch her in three dance films including world-renowned dance artist Alice Sheppard’s Inclinations and Carolina Bergonzoni’s Ho.Me. Sanctuary, the dance film she co-created and danced in, had its world premiere in London at the Together! 2019 Disability Film Festival in December 2019. Also, in June 2019 Harmanie participated in UCLA’s inaugural Dancing Disability Lab (http://www.uei.ucla.edu/academic-programs/disability-studies/disability-inclusion-lab/arts/) to work with other professional disabled dance artists to answer questions around the culture and aesthetics of disabled dance. 

Since March 2020, Harmanie has taught virtual Zoom dance classes for Momo Movement (AB), Exploration Dance Project (BC), All Bodies Dance Project (BC), Propeller Dance (ON), and the Kickstart Still, Life Festival (BC). Somatic Dance, as well as Inclusive community-engagement and ensemble improvisation, are at the core of her practice. Harmanie is interested in building relationships strengthened by movement and understanding the environment we are immersed in, whether that is the physical space around us or the virtual space where we engage in movement together.
